I would like to share with you a “New York Inspiration” post today and introduce you to a book I am reading again at the moment. “Here is New York” is an essay written in 1948 by the American novelist Elwyn B. White. Because New York is not only visually enjoyable, its energy is what strikes everybody the most. And words are powerful.

You probably already know E. B. White who is also the author of the classic children’s book “Charlotte’s Web”. Even though he wrote “Here is New York” almost 70 years, this essay is so relatable in today’s era. This book doesn’t get old. And New York will never go out of Fashion.

He is a little quote about living in New York: “It can destroy an individual, or it can fulfill him, depending a good deal on luck. No one should come to New York to live unless he is willing to be lucky.”

Whether you are living or lived in NYC, whether you are about to discover the city or you miss New York, this is a book I highly recommend you to read. You can find it here.
